Guide for Your Child’s Foods
The foods that parents prepare and serve to their children daily are the most
important factors in determining how the children interact with other children
and adults. The actions and behavior of parents and other adults also
influence children, but the key factor is daily food. Children who eat well
generally develop a good-natured, peaceful disposition and enjoy interacting
with other children and adults. Watch what your children eat and observe how
different foods affect their behavior. Through careful observation, you will
learn how to adjust your cooking to help them. It is a good idea not to make a
habit of telling your children how they should and should not behave. When
they eat something and do not feel well, or if they do not get along with
others, do not scold them or make them feel bad Talk with them and try to get
them to see how certain foods affect them. Show children how they can
change. Teach them at an early age to notice how food affects their behavior
and health.
Try to teach, encourage, and inspire children rather than dominate or control
them. In this way, they will be happy.
